Light Grenades

I was listening to Incubus today and i became curious about this alternative rock band;so i decided to search about it ,read some reviews and give it a second try.
I found Brandon Boyd explanation about Light Grenade's theme;just to remind me how meaningful and pithy a sub-culture can be ;
This is Incubus weaving words with melodies !


"There's a song called that on the record and it felt like the most pertinent conceptual aspect of the album, the idea of throwing ideas at problems and the ideas explode with light and good results and intention on consciousness. So I started imagining imagery of students in different countries protesting and throwing Molotov cocktails with masks over their faces. But there's one brave student who runs up to the police line and, as opposed to throwing rocks or things that destroy, there's this concept of that one courageous, lonely student running up and throwing ideas and having them actually change things. It just seemed kind of a cool concept: the redefining of weaponry."
Brandon Boyd(from wiki)
